When we flush medicine down the drain or send off to landfills, it makes its way into rivers and, yes, even drinking water. Proper disposal is just what the doctor ordered.
Healthier aquatic life: More than 80% of rivers recently sampled tested positive for medications like antibiotics, birth control hormones, and antidepressants.
Safer drinking water: Trace amounts of pharmaceuticals end up in our water because most treatment plants are not designed to filter them out.
Helping people who can't afford medicine: There are many programs that will take your drugs and redistribute them. How? Here are some options:
-Pharmacies - many pharmacies, such as Rite Aid, have safe drug disposal programs; check with yours.
-Drug Repository Programs - check with your local Department of Health or Board of Pharmacy.
-Earth 911 - Enter your zip code and find nearby drop sites for unused pills.
-The Starfish Project - a group of doctors, nurses, and social workers take donations of certain medications by mail and distribute them to people in Africa. - I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE So You Think You Can Dance. Danny is my favorite boy and Sara is my favorite girl. I have a three way tie for my favorite couple, though: Lacy & Kameron, Jessi & Pasha, and Anya & Danny.
- Huh. That's all I've got. NYC tomorrow!!
